Horrible event in Florida. Maybe is proof mental health professionals suck. I think the problems we have here in the USA is cultural and is multi-faceted. They include: Dependence on social media for interaction with others. Social media removes real human interaction and creates an artificial world with little emotional feedback. Hell, the expression of normal body language has been replaced by "emoticons". Too many or too strict privacy laws. HIPAA laws should be revised to allow medical and mental health professionals to alert law enforcement of suspected threats by those with aggressive tendencies or who represent a danger to to society. Parental responsibility for teaching and disciplining of kids has increasingly been shifted to their teachers and schools. Schools are for academic learning, not for raising kids. Now-a-days parents don't always support the school systems or rules. They sue them if they think little Johnny has been mistreated. Far too much of an "entitlement" philosophy today. A feeling of unfulfilled entitlement leads to frustration, and confusion. We need to re-enforce the concept of self responsibility and accountability. Need to reign in some of the liberal preaching in schools. Too easy to acquire assault type rifles. Most states have a legal age for "long guns" of 18 years but 21 years for handguns. Most of these mass shootings are done with assault type rifles. But, of course, the immediate reaction by the DC crowd focuses only on gun control. Society is similar among many Western-style countries...and yet only one country has the numbers of and sorts of mass shootings under discussion here. Which country is that, and what is different about it? We are the only ones massively drugging our kids? Maybe it is because we are the only western country in which there is such easy access to guns. Ever consider that? Unrelated. |
